Home for the Holidays (1995)

Nov 16 2024 177 mins

Well it’s that time of year again, no we aren’t talking about post general election hangover, we are referring to that annual culinary and quintessentially American Bacchanalia where we stuff ourselves to the gills with too many carbs, too much gravy, and bad football (the American variety).Yes kids, it’s Thanksgiving. This little tale written by Chris Radant, and brought to

The Wailing (2016)

Oct 31 2024 124 mins

Hello all our Goblins, Ghouls, and lovely minions of the dark. We hope you will enjoy our cap off of the most wonderful time of the year. Sam and I gave it a lot of thought, and perhaps in keeping with what seems to be a trend for us in 2024, we opted for a film from South Korea. “The Wailing” is definitely “the full horror film experience” Written and directed by Na Hong-j

HEREDITARY 2018

Oct 13 2024 144 mins

What better way to celebrate the most wonderful time of year than this chaotic, but fun episode with guest (g)hosts Lynda and Michael Hardy. Ari Aster re-invigorated the sub-genre of Folk Horror as writer and director of this film, that has no cheap scares. Break out your Ouija boards and dog-eared copies of “The Key of Solomon” (or whatever favorite Grimoire you have laying ar

Poor Things

Hello, darlings. Please join us for a ripping good discussion filled with colorful explosions of dialogue and incredulity as we explore Yorgos Lanthimos's oeuvre extraordinaire, Poor Things (2023). We have much heat and spectacular insights about this unique film. We welcome you to listen in, join the fray, to write strongly worded letters to us (or post cards), and to just enjoy t

Heathers 1988

Sep 17 2024 146 mins

Hello and welcome to a special episode of The Celluloid Pudding Podcast. We're thrilled to be doing the cult classic film from the 80's, HEATHERS this week with our super guest Thomas. Thomas is a dream guest (You may remember his wit and insights from our episode of The Wedding Banquet), and he spins many a fine tale about rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars. And I do believe w

Fried Green Tomatoes

Sep 05 2024 176 mins

Please join us as we discuss our last film of the summer, Fried Green Tomatoes. This incredible film from 1991 is just as fresh today as it was when it debuted. The cast is stellar, solid, and deeply committed to Fanny Flagg's eponymous novel, which was considered for the Pulitzer Prize when it came out. There are layers and layers here, and we hope we were able to pull a few of th

LITTLE FOREST (2018)

Aug 20 2024 141 mins

Our pod welcomes back one of our favorite guests as film enthusiast and aspiring filmmaker Vivica Dunlap shares another little gem of South Korean cinema. Our listeners know how much Beth and Sam enjoy picking films that match the season, and we think Little Forest is a lovely film to indulge in for the late summer. Kim Tae-ri leads a warm and appealing supporting cast in what we t

Repo Man (1984) 🚘 ☢️ 👾

Aug 02 2024 119 mins

Sam and Beth discuss a personal favorite from back in the home video days of one night rentals and compounding rental fees. Repo Man is a Gen X cult classic that we think in many ways accurately reflects Gen X sensibilities. If you want to understand Gen X, watch this movie. Lead actor Emilio Estevez set himself apart from the rest of the Brat Pack by choosing interesting projects,

SOMETHING WILD (1986)

Jul 16 2024 148 mins

Sam and Beth roll it back to discuss this quintessential 80s classic directed by Jonathan Demme. It could be argued that this film was responsible for launching the careers of Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels, and Ray Liotta —who would all go on to long success as perennial A-Listers (RIP Ray ❤️). It also solidified the status of artists like David Byrne, and Laurie Anderson in
